Some kinda moustache-bullhorn rust-copper thing.
I made it from chopped [rusty] bmx bars, a bmx leve, copper shims, and backward drop adapters for flat-bars.

It's on my 2nd fixed conversion, an '84 Centurion Dave Scott Ironman.

lol why???? hipster

um

This is why innovation is stifled.

Because it's fun to make things? Because I think copper looks good
and yes, I am a hipster.
[edit: wait, no I'm not!]


[edit: right?]

I think it looks great! It seems like that design could be comfortable.

Bicycle, you're going to get flamed for actually doing neat things and tinkering in your garage, but I think making new designs out of rusty old stuff is really neat. If you like them enough, commissioning someone with a pipe bender is cheap enough.

A maker isn't afraid to ride with rusty old stuff, hacked together. a+++

Looks dangerous.
Are all your shots up-to-date?

I was joking, dummies.

Bummer.

Sorry for my, what i thought was completely over the top, satire of the boardddd.

Yeah, I took them about 15 minutes ago

whoa yr doctor does late appointments wow man

I don't get it

are you kidding me?

He took your "15 minute ago" post seriously.

Unless it's more of his "satireeeeeeeeee"

You posted at 10:47. All the doctors in Minneapolis are closed at 5:00; 3:30 on Fridays.

OH!! oh man! aha!!! I see!

I though deathhare meant "shots" as is in "photos"

I took the photos about 15 minutes ago
My Tetanus shots are very much up to date, thank you.

omg quote my absurdly long spelled words appropriately man.

I'd pay you the same respect plz. plz.

Anyway, is it comfy?

I thought you meant shots as in shot-o-tequila

Yeah

Heres the deal, in all seriousness.

These don't look to do anything bullhorns with a shorter stem on the same setup would do. In fact, they do less, because the 'flatbar' position is smaller.

Yes, but,


I made them myself

BUt the whole setup looks really sketch, let alone unsafe. I made my bullhorns myself by flip/chopping and they are still at least a solid piece of steel.


But, also, if it pumps you up man, good work. DIY is great, and so is self satisfaction. I've just (obviously) been ****ing around all night and people are babies on this board.

So can be tinkering with cars in your garage or building a prototype out of metal with power tools.

You hack things together as a prototype, usually in an unsafe matter, then pay someone to do it right.

i'd agree, except for maybe paying someone else to do it right.

If i were making something, i'd either commit to making a solid working piece myself, or just buying **** someone else already makes.

And it still stands that they are essentially a less functional bullhorn, and he was just happy that he made it himself. Fine with me if it i makes him happy, but there is no way it would make sense as a an actual product, or even make sense to pay someone else to build a "proper" one.

He even said himself that the charm was he did it himself, not that he made a mockup.
